Code P0107 car won't stay running

Asked by Michelle Jun 20, 2023 at 10:53 PM about the 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Car dies immediately after starting.  When
pushing gas pedal it will stay running but die as
soon as released.  When this began codes P0106
and P0121 populated. We replaced the MAP AND
Throttle position sensors.  Also replaced spark
plugs, oil change and air filter change. Same issue
happened and now the code is showing P0107.

Did you use factory Chrysler replacement parts or aftermarket? Chryslers do not like aftermarket parts,I learned that the hard way. Make sure the MAP sensor wiring harness and connections are good. You mat need to runs an ohms check on the MAP sensor harness from the sensor to the ECM. As it is a Chrysler it may very well be a bad ECM, but exhaust the other option first. Right parts and wiring tests.

GA okay. That's helpful. I'm not too savvy in the car world. The sensor we replaced was an off brand after market from Amazon. Not knowing any better. I did recent get a multimeter and from my researching and understanding my wires to the sensor are good. I looked up that mopar seems to be the oem part manufactory for dodge. Does that sound right to you?

@beatupchevy P0107 Code: Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor / Barometric Sensor Low

GA okay. I guess that's my next route then. We had gotten another after market park that just arrived before I connected with you on here. I plugged that in. Got 5v dc from the wired connection to sensor. Code and light cleared and she ran and drove for 20 mins. Then I parked her and tried to restart and the same p0107 code popped up and she's refusing to stay running once again. Outside of getting the mopar part replacement do you have any other suggestions or recommendations I should look into?

Trace down all the sensor grounds and make sure they are clean and tight. This is a common problem with almost every vehicle made, grounds will always go bad over time. As you have good reference voltage on that sensor, you could back probe the return signal at the ECM(if you have a ECM diagram) and compare it to what the factory reading should be at your elevation. If you going to dive into working on your own vehicles then I suggest you save up for a real good scanner. price is depending on just how deep you think you want too go with diagnostics. Blue Driver is a decent unit if you have a iPhone or Android. But if you want more then the costs increase.

Thank you so much for you guidance and help! We're new to repairing our own vehicles, but I want to learn and be able to resolve things on my own so you have no idea how much I appreciate your help with understanding this!
